【Carbon Market】Petroleum Coke and Calcined Coke Hold Steady, Graphite Electrode Market Stays Quiet

 Petroleum Coke

Downstream demand is sluggish, and the petroleum coke market sees weak and stable trading.

On April 24, the average price of petroleum coke was RMB 2,841/ton, down RMB 5 from the previous working day. Major refineries maintained stable pricing for shipments, while local refineries mostly held prices steady, with some continuing to make downward adjustments. Downstream demand from aluminum carbon, anode materials, graphite electrodes, silicon carbide industries, and the southern fuel market remains stable or slightly weak. It is expected that petroleum coke prices will generally remain stable tomorrow, with some small fluctuations in certain areas. (Baiinfo)

Calcined Petroleum Coke

Calcined petroleum coke market shows poor sales, prices remain weak and stable.

No significant increase in downstream demand; the graphite electrode market remains sluggish. Low-sulfur calcined petroleum coke prices are expected to remain stable, while medium- and high-sulfur prices may see slight declines. (Baiinfo)
